This is her kids favorite and they enjoy this combo with Lebanese bread!For once who dont know let me introduce once again! Nargis sis is my friends in fb, who shares a common name with me, originally thats how we got connected! But now foodie buddies too. She is a non blogger but loves to cook for her kids and keeps sharing her unique recipes to me as guest post.Lets get Started With the recipe We need sweet chilli sauce which is the star ingredient of this recipeTo make sweet chilli sauce500g long fresh red chillies, stems trimmed3 garlic cloves, peeled750ml (3 cups) white vinegar645g (3 cups) caster sugarStep 1Halve 100g of the chillies and place in the bowl of a food processor. Halve and deseed the remaining chillies. Coarsely chop and place in the food processor. Add garlic and 250ml white vinegar. Process until finely chopped.Step 2Place the chilli mixture, remaining vinegar and caster sugar in a large saucepan over a low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the sugar dissolves.Step 3Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 35-40 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Pour into a container and store. To make your task easy you can buy ready made sweet chilli sauce available in market.

To make lamb chops:- Marinate 1 kg mutton with 1cup sweet chilli sauce, pepper and salt accordingly for 2hrs.- In a non stick pan add a little oil and fry these marinated chops 4-5 in a batch till u finish frying the whole.- Keep turning the sides when frying and remove when u start seeing the chops getting slightly burnt in color- It takes 5-6 mins to cook 1 batch in medium heat.Note: - When you fry the marinated chops it will ooze out water. Let it cook along with water, as the water will dry out, sweet chilli sauce will start caramalizing giving burnt appearence which is the sign to remove meat.Creamy Mashed Potatoes4 large potatoes peeled and cubed steam them in a steamer or boil it1/2 cup of creamless than 1/2 cup of milk2tbl spoon of butterwhen the potatoes R cooked mash with a masher then add salt, butter mix it then add cream and little bit of milk at a time it should not be liquid. but should give a well creamy texture to the potato mixBoth these recipes are very simple to make and she served with Labanese bread Which is store bought usually, She said its same like chapati, but made of white flour :) We can also serve this with regular Phulk, Chapati or Paratha
